Dawn Raup, Lee Moons Get History Awards at Training School Session ns I Dawn Raup, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Raup, of East Third street, and Lee Moon, son ot Mr. and Mrs. George H. Moon, of Iron street, were honored by the Fort McClure Chapter, D. A. R., yesterday afternoon, when they were awarded cash prizes of $2.50 for their work in the history course of the intermediate grades at the Benjamin Franklin Training school. The two sixth grade pupils received the distinction for their "love and understanding of the subject,??? as well as for their class work, Miss Edna J. Hazcn, director of intermediate and rural education, explained. Presentation of the awards was made at a program given by the pupils before an audience of D. A. R. members and fourth, fifth and sixth grade boys and girls and their teachers. Miss Hazen was in charge of the program which opened with several numbers by the sixth grade. The group recited in unison the preamble to the American Constitution and sang two songs. ???Our Flag,??? by Shubert,: and ???Our Native Land.??? from ???The Daughter of the Regiment,??? by Donizetta.Back to the days of the Revolution seven fifth grade boys took the audience in a skit describing the signing of the Constitution. Wearing the white wigs and colorful costumes of the men of colonial days, the boys gave an earnest account of this momentous occasion. With surprising energy and dramatic ability, they delivered the speeches of outstanding men who attended the Constitutional convention and pronounced with facility the high-sounding words which were reproduced in as nearly accurate form as con be determined from existing records. The setting for the skit consisted of a table with chairs extending from each side. At the rear of the set was a crayon portrait representing the ???picture of the rising sun?????? which was in back of Washington???s chair during the convention. George Washington, played by Billy Wirt, was represented as a poised, business-like man, who called the meeting to order and introduced six of his co-workers. The first signer was Benjamin Franklin, played by Richard Kashner, wearing blue waistcoat and knee breeches with a fancy lace cravat at his throat. The great Pennsylvanian was quite decrepit at the time of the convention as was shown by the manner in which the young actor leaned upon his cane and limped painfully to the table to place his signature upon the document, Edmond Randolph, played by Roy Snyder Jr., refused to sign because he ???did not believe the object had been obtained.??? Alexander Hamilton, or Billy Rutter, asked that each signer pledge his support along with his signature and General Pinckney, acted by Jack Gearinger, signed withj | "the intention of supporting it with all* my influence.??? Equally energetic was James Madison, played by Jack Williams, Gouverneur Morris, or Parke Randall, decided that he would ???take it with all its faults.??? In closing the skit, Benjamin Franklin hobbled to the desk of Washington and made his famous speech concerning the ???rising sun.??? Announcement of the skit was made by Anson Woodring. S a 4 Miss Hansen again took charge and introduced the D, A. R. members to 1 the pupils, declaring that the chapter ???is interested in history and especially; in commemorating the thoughts, works and efforts of people of the time of the Revolution.??? The selection of the boy and girl for the award, she explained, was made by Miss Edna J. Barnes, Miss Ann Garrison, Mrs. Etta Keller, fourth, fifth and sixth grade teachers, respectively, and came after the teachers had consulted the records of pupils throughout the past three years. The children who stood highest in class work and showed a love and understanding of the subject were chosen. Mrs. E. H. Nelson, regent of the Fort McClure Chapter, D. A. R., was given a slip of paper on which were the names of the two winners. Before announcing the names, she advised the boys and girls to study earnestly the history of their country and to realize that the foundations of this great nation were laid by their fore; fathers in times of great stress and trial. She urged that the classroom be made a place for the building of American ideals. The program closed with group singing on ???America the Beautiful,??? i Mrs. Florence Merritt, of Forty Fort, was leader and Miss Dorothy Hoffman,1! of Almedia, accompanist. Members of the local chapter, of the D. A. R. attending were: Mrs. Nell E. Mears, Mrs. Roy D. Snyder, Mrs. W. A. Hutchinson, Harriet Carpenter, Helen Carpenter, Mary Tustin, Elizabeth A. White, Loula L. Cole, Deborah T. Little, Mrs. Howard F. Fenstemaker, Mrs. N. W. Hoffman, Mrs. E. H Nelson, Mrs John C Koch. FANNING 5/18/38 EACH year the College holds a dinner to honor its men and girl athletes and all eight events have been delightful affairs, featured by able addresses. Among those who spoke in the past as we recall, were Dr. Pety, of Pittsburgh; Dr. Henry Crane, of Scranton; Columbia???s Lou Little; Mike Palm and Harry Kippe. But the high light to us has always been the reports showing a better athletic program to have been carried out than in the preceding term. Many fine things are said and many excellent goals fixed around the banquet board. But all too often they are forgotten almost immediately. That is not the case with the College athletic program. It has constantly been the objective of Dr. Haas, Dr. Nelson and the members of the physical education department to so develop the program that all who wish can participate. The Program Broadens Dr. Haas has often declared the ob-1 jcctive is a sensible program of ath- j letics for all. And that is being achieved. During the College year now closing we believe more have participated in sports on the hill than ever before in the institution???s history. In the men???s program alone they ' have added a jayvee track schedule and soccer and wrestling have been placed on the program. During the I winter the intra-mural basketball program was so popular it was necessary to have two leagues. The big objective is to have every one playing something and thus obtain the benefits of wholesome exercise. But a broader program that includes jayvee schedules is also sure to add power to future varsity teams. ???In the past'four years there have been three State titles on the hill, baseball in ???35 and track the past two Springs. Some schools have done better and more have done worse. The Huskies, of course, aren???t satisfied with that record. They intend to make it better and we believe they will. But every one who knows any thing about athletic programs realizes that the one on the hill is expanding steadily and substantially as the years roll along. Track Meet Goes West For two years now the track team has claimed the title the day the dinner was held. That has been a real feature and the entrance of the winning team during the program has seen a demonstration staged. We hope the boys keep it up. But even if they retain the title in ???39 they won???t arrive during the banquet, if it remains at the same place on the college calendar, for the ???39 event is to be staged in Slippery Rock. The western Pennsylvania school made a bid for the meet at Shippensburg on Saturday. Inasmuch as it has always been in the East the eastern schools immediately backed the Slippery Rock bid. The Rockets will have a new track next year and are interested in stirring track and field interest among other teachers colleges in that section. Some of them now do not have the sport???lndiana and California include???and Slippery Rock believes a meet in western Pennsylvania will be a boon in the sport in that section. Bloomsburg Bidder For ???4O Bloomsburg would like to play host to the meet. Next year it hopes to have a new track but it, of course, won???t be too well seasoned. But by 1940 the track should be ready. The Huskies would like to have the meet that Spring and will likely get it. The Husky institution is centrally located and they know how to stage events of that kind on the hill. The Graduation Toll Thirteen boys who have been active in athletics on the hill, many thoroughout the four years of their collegiate careers, will get their degrees and depart in about a week. They will be missed. Their contributions will long be remembered. Johnny ???Bloody??? Circovics, a 155 pounder who has had few equals as a defensive football player, is one who will go. The Berwick boy played varsity football throughout his career and he did a fine job. Two other Berwick football players go with him. One is Vance Laubach. This boy played the sport little in high school but developed in college and was a varsity fullback three years and a good one. His work in 1937 earned him the honorary captaincy. The other is Norman Henry, a varsity lineman three seasons. Ruckle Is Leaving Irving ???Junie??? Ruckle, who thrilled basketball fans for four seasons with his * sensational shooting, is in the graduating class. The Newport township boy was captain one year and honorary captain another, an indication of the high place he held with his team, mates.
